Man United contracts: Which players are free to leave next summer and in 2026?

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's expiring contracts for next summer and in 2026.

Manchester United have entered a new era under the leadership of new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has taken control of the football department at Old Trafford.

The futures of a number of first-team players are currently unclear, with big changes planned, as the club attempt to return to former glories.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Man United players whose contracts either expire next summer or in June 2026.


Which Man United players are out of contract next summer?

Harry Maguire

Club Honours

  • EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

  • FA Cup (1): 2023-24

  • Maguire was thought to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford last summer, but he managed to win back the trust of now former head coach Erik ten Hag during the 2023-24 campaign.

    The 31-year-old could potentially be offered a contract extension by the club, although his current deal has a clause which can be activated to take him until June 2026.


    Amad Diallo

  • Diallo ended the 2023-24 campaign with 12 appearances to his name, scoring twice and providing one assist, with the 22-year-old showing his potential late in the season.

    The Ivorian is now developing into a vital player for the Red Devils, and his contract also includes a clause which can be activated to take him until June 2026, but a fresh long-term deal could soon be signed.

    The 29-year-old has made 266 appearances for the Red Devils since his arrival, but it is believed that this will be his final season at Old Trafford.
